Hi all, I am trying to establish if the firm L Kramer of Cairo were still producing items during the 1939-45 period.
I have seen the selection of advertisements here: https://www.925-1000.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=53896
and the latest is 1928. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks.

Re: Kramer Cairo
Hi. I know this is an old thread but replying anyway just in case. I have recently acquired an anniversary clock retailed by L Kramer and Co, Le Caire- Alexandrie. I have been trying to date this clock and like you have found references to L Kramer & Co up to to 1928 but not beyond. The clock is German and bears the makers mark of Kieninger & Obergfell. The backplate of the clock mechanism (a commonly used reference to date these clocks) is most similar to other clocks produced by K&O in the 1950s and is significantly different to those produced in the 1920s and up to 1935. I am lacking a refence for the 1940s. So based on this one clock I'd say it is likely that L Kramer and co were still trading in Egypt after 1935 but I can't put an end date on it.
